Leord was suddenly awakened by thunder that pierced the silence. He instantly jumped out of bed with a ringing scream that echoed several times in the empty room. Starting from the hair of the glass, the only drop of sweat that interrupted his shock fell on his hands. With his other hand, he held on to his side, he noticed this after he was sent in place like a statue.
"It was just a dream. I was so scared."
His breath was hitched, over time he began to breathe deeply and came to his senses.
He looked out the window, the sky was hidden behind the clouds and the air was saturated with the smell of rain.
"Gotta go to the store before it starts to rain. There's nothing to eat at home. We've run out of stock."
- Ehhhh.
Quickly putting on his clothes, he refreshed himself and washed himself in the bathroom. He was one of those who did not like umbrellas, as they caused discomfort and were prone to quickly fall into disrepair.
So on rainy days he preferred to wear a raincoat. After he got ready, he checked the presence of his things: a wallet and a telephone.
Coming out the door, he noticed the new owner of the neighboring house. She stood next to the boxes of things, and looked a little tired. Noticing Leord, a joyful smile appeared on her face.
She was dressed lightly, her outerwear was a T-shirt with a print of the "blonde" album. Below are black joggers, and the latest generation of Jordans with a white-green color.
- Hey, hello! I'm your new neighbor!
My name is Afriel.
Hi, I'm Leord, nice to meet you.
- And me too. Listen, can you help me carry the last box, please. The elevator is broken and the box is heavy. I'll even pay you...
"Only without that, I don't need money." He said without even listening to her.
"Thank you so much, I'll treat you sometime, we'll eat together and don't refuse this either, I owe you." Having said this, she laughed wickedly.
Her teeth gleamed brightly, and her beautifully concealed monolid eyes added to the grace of her appearance.
Leord was slightly embarrassed.
He easily picked up and carried the box to her apartment. During the time that he was in the room, several things caught his eye: scattered clothes, a guitar and posters of musical groups.
"It looks like she is an artist or music is her hobby. We have similar tastes... But I have to run now."
- Okay, ahh...
- Afriel.
Sorry, I'm bad at remembering names.
Yes, Afriel. I have to run." He said in a low tone.
- OK good luck.
As he descended the stairs, a few thoughts crossed his mind.
As he stepped out into the street, he enjoyed a deep breath of fresh air.
"How cool. Great weather, you can then take a walk in the park."
The store was in close proximity, he quickly reached there.
I walked for 15 minutes and picked up a full cart of products, such as rice, buckwheat, peas, flour, canned vegetables, fruits, fish, and also took dry fruits and nuts. A couple of canned soups and broths, all sorts of oils, salt, spices and seasonings. When the cashier considered all this, he stood and waited for a long time.
"Well, I didn't seem to forget anything. Maybe I can buy some yummy. Chocolate or maybe some kind of fruit. Exactly, you can take apples. Mmm, juicy apples so, we decided where they were."
He went to the dresser of fruits and vegetables, and picked green, ripe, juicy apples.
On his way back to the checkout, a book caught his eye. The wrapper was green, and on it in big red letters "how to survive in extreme conditions."
He became interested and took the book.
By the time he was gone, the elevator had already been repaired.
"Good luck. I was just thinking about how I'm going to carry it all. Lucky lucky."
He quickly unpacked everything and took the cart back to the store.
With every minute the rain became more intense. The news broadcast information about the upcoming heavy rainfall, and also mentioned possible floods.
His parents lived with his younger brother while he had his own apartment. He had an older sister who had a business. He used to live with her for a while but, due to a problematic relationship, he decided to separate from her.
He carried out teaching activities in the field of physics. But at the moment he is on leave without pay.
